After traveling to COTA for the races Jim has the show ready and it's a long one.  Jake Rower joins Jim and Rich to discuss all the action.  Jim and Jake had a great time watching the races together at the track.  The guys talk about COTA, where to watch from and their thoughts on the weekend as a whole.  Moto3 was a great race that was decided on the last turn of the last lap.  Moto2 started off with a bang, as seven riders crashed in turn 11 on the first lap.  That race was shortened to 10 laps.  Lastly the MotoGP Sprint was a true thriller that kept you on the edge of your seat.  Sadly the main event on Sunday was a bit of a bore.  Jake got a surprise interview at the airport on his way home and Jim added in a few man on the street interviews as well.

Join Karl and Danny talking about all that is WSBK from round 2 in Portugal. Portimao became the Bulega masterclass.  After Sam Lowes set the early pace on Friday, Bulega turned it into a perfect round, winning Race 1, the Superpole Race, and Race 2 to complete a hat-trick on the Algarve rollercoaster.

Behind him, the bigger story was who could stay closest: Iker Lecuona emerged as the main challenger, finishing second in all three races, while Miguel Oliveira gave the home crowd something to cheer about with back-to-back Sunday podiums after also taking a Race 1 rostrum. By the end of the weekend, Bulega had stretched his advantage at the top of the standings to 124 points, with Lecuona next on 68.

Next up will be coverage of MotoGP round 3 from COTA with Jim and Jake trackside, bringing you the best of the action.

MotoGP Round 2 came from Brazil’s Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia, hosting a round for the first time since 1989. An action packed weekend, with crazy weather, a massive crowd, some good racing and more than a fair share of chaos with sink holes and track break-up detracting from what was, overall, a great reintroduction for Brazil onto the MotoGP calendar. Its early days in the championships, but already Moto3 and Moto2 are revealing the likely front runners. In MotoGP, track conditions had a major bearing on the outcome but Aprilia continue to give Ducati pause for thought. Next stop COTA, with Jim trackside.
